You could get a 5 channel unless you want to run two amps. You'll need an amp wiring kit which should have everything you'll need to power the amp, and either a 6 channel set of rcas, or a 4 and a 2 channel set. Make sure they're long enough to go from the back of the radio to your amp.
I own 2 80 PRS, and a 9887. I like the features of the 80s, but I love the ease of the 9887. The 80s also display voltage as well. But to throw another hat in the ring, the Eclipse CD 7200MKII is worth finding.
